tropical deforestation
Tropical deforestation involves the removal of forests in tropical regions, primarily for agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development. This process reduces forest cover, threatening biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems, and contributing to climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide. While forests are vital for maintaining global ecological balance, their loss results from human activities driven by economic needs, population growth, and resource demands. Efforts to address deforestation focus on sustainable land management, conservation, and reforestation to preserve these vital environments for future generations.
